You and me both, but it did stop it bizarrely enough. I read someone else had a similar experience on Tresiba too

The hypo on a higher dose of Levemir is the result of a continuous drop throughout the night. It's not something I can really move, a continuous downward line throughout the night means the dose is too high.

But it never used to be! I don't understand how my correction factor can suddenly have doubled from one day to the next :(

Yes! There's only one of two things I'll have for breakfast which are both foods I know don't spike me (yoghurt and blueberries most days or a bacon sandwich as a Friday treat).

Argh!!! See this is what I mean! I took 3u to correct a 13.8 and it only dropped me 5mmol when it really should have been 9mmol! Next I'll go have lunch and even if I correct more now, it'll spike back up and then finally come down around 3pm like other days. I just don't get it!

Another thing I was potentially thinking - and this is going to sound very controversial - is going back to Tresiba to keep the nice flat lines and stop the 'foot on the floor'. Stick with the lower dose that kept me flat during the night/morning, but then top it up with a small dose of Levemir...

I could, even if only to see if the problem persists. The problem I was having with Tresiba is that because my Levemir doses are quite different (17u vs 10u), I was really struggling to find one single dose of Tresiba that suited me. I would either drop during the night, or rise during the day...

Yes, you're right it is foot on the floor - sorry for the confusion!

It was around two weeks ago that I last checked the morning. To be fair, I don't think upping my morning dose would help seeing as I take it at the same time as breakfast so that won't impact on my spike (it's already happening by then). Increasing my nighttime dose won't help either because I...

I take a split dose of Levemir - 17u at 9am and 10u at 10pm. I did do basal testing when I first swapped back and apart from the DP the basal doses keep me pretty stable throughout the day and night. My correction isn't always the same, if I wake up a bit lower (4/5) I might only take 1u, if I...

I haven't been getting back in range until about 3pm :( About since I changed back from Tresiba to Levemir - a couple of weeks. When I was on Levemir before, I had no issue whatsoever. I would take 1.5/2u at 7am on waking which would keep me flat until breakfast. I would then bolus 1:8 just...

Hi, I recently swapped back from Tresiba (used it 5 months) to Levemir and I've really been struggling with my mornings since. No matter how much insulin I take or how long I wait before eating, I spike like crazy after breakfast. This morning I took 2u on my way to work for dawn phenomenon...

Everyone is different, but I definitely need to bolus for low carb food. 2 boiled eggs will make me rise by 3/4mmol if I don't bolus for them. Generally, I think people take half their I:C ratio for protein. So for 20g of protein, you'd take 1u if your I:C ratio is 1:10

It's interesting you say that because I said the same thing to my husband yesterday. If I eat something I don't know I would rather err on the side of taking slightly too much and have a few jelly babies after, than having to correct a high after.

I would suggest doing a basal rate test to see if the dose is correct: https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/

At the moment, FAR too many. Consultant put me on Tresiba 5 months ago and I've been having 2 hypos a day on average. Most mild. Moved back to Levemir a few days ago so hopefully I'll be able to fix that soon after a bit of basal testing.

I made a similar post a few months ago because I was experiencing the same. Went to bed at a decent level and then seemed to spike pretty soon after falling asleep. I can't help as I never found out what caused it, but it did stop eventually!

I have granola with a few tbs Greek yogurt and a handful of blueberries almost every morning (45g carbs). I couldn't do low carb personally, but this doesn't make me spike

Thanks for the tip! I'll bring it up at my next appointment, sounds like that could be a good solution

Changes in Tresiba doses a) take 3 days to take full effect and b) don't just last for the 12 hours overnight bit the full day after that as well
